This was a sweet forced mate in 7 on speed chess.  I had just accidentally lost my queen for a knight and now was in danger of mate, but I found this "luckily".  Hope you enjoy it!

?

 

First of all, this is not a forced mate in seven. 1...d5 stops the mate for sure, and I believe 2...c5 does as well.

 

Also, how are you in danger of mate? Your King seems tucked away rather nicely while his is very exposed.

 

As for the loss of your Queen, I don't think you should have worried. I would much rather play white in this position. You have the simple 1.Bxf6 winning a whole rook!

Nice puzzle. Black's king didn't really have much space to move around, eh.

You guys are right! d5 does stop it, c5 on 2. doesnt though, that actually speeds it up. Thanks for the comments.
